Put a dent in the universe
David via Signal vs. Noise on Tue, 02 Dec. 2008
To truly be inspired for great work, you need to know that you’re making a difference. That you’re putting a meaningful dent in the universe. That you’re part of something that’s making a difference and that your role in that something is significant.
This doesn’t have to be grand at all. You don’t have to be looking for the cure for cancer. It could be done by a waitress

If you could change your life
Seth Godin via Seth's Blog on Mon, 01 Dec. 2008
...would you?
Getting into Stanford Business School changed my life. In college, I trained to be a mediocre engineer (I didn't set out to be mediocre at it, but I sure was). I was on track to become Dilbert.
Getting into Stanford meant jumping the track. Going from one path to another in one fell swoop.
I didn't learn much of substance at business school, but that'

Don't know what you've got till it's gone
Seth Godin via Seth's Blog on Fri, 28 Nov. 2008
IWantSandy is folding, as are a number of web companies. So is that restaurant you loved down the street. Users are outraged. Outraged!
When you find a service or establishment or product that gives you joy, it's tempting to keep it to yourself. Perhaps it's uncomfortable to recommend it to a friend (after all, you might seem silly) and even mo

Hire managers of one
37signals via Signal vs. Noise on Wed, 26 Nov. 2008
When you’re hiring, seek out people who are managers of one.
What’s that mean? A manager of one is someone who comes up with their own goals and executes them. They don’t need heavy direction. They don’t need daily check-ins. They do what a manager would do — set the tone, assign items, determine what needs to get done, etc. — but they do it by themselves and for themselve

"Just doing my job"
Seth Godin via Seth's Blog on Sat, 22 Nov. 2008
What a bogus excuse.
If you take a job, you've bought into what the company does. You're responsible.
If you work for a company headed off a cliff, hey, you're going too. The fact that you're just doing your job doesn't make unemployment any better. And if the company is hurting people or the world you operate in, it doesn't matter who told you to do it, you still did it.

QUOTE: A complex system that works is invariably
Jason via Signal vs. Noise on Fri, 21 Nov. 2008
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.

Seth Godin via Seth's Blog on Fri, 21 Nov. 2008
I was in Detroit last week... I have family there. I also drive a car. And I would rather that the world doesn't melt and the economy thrive. So I'm uniquely qualified to weigh in on the automobile industry.
Not only should Congress encourage/facilitate the organized bankruptcy of the Big Three, but it should also make it easy for them to be replaced by 500 new car companies.
